The device is a simple saline solution for nebulization, and the summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.
No.
The product is a saline solution used to induce sputum production, not a device that directly provides a therapeutic effect. It is used "in conjunction with a nebulizer," which would be the device.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the solutions "are for the induction of sputum production where sputum production is indicated." Inducing sputum production is a preliminary step in collecting samples for diagnostic tests (e.g., for respiratory infections), thus making the device a tool used in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical solution (homogeneous mixture of water and sodium chloride) packaged in vials, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the induction of sputum production. This is a method to collect a biological sample (sputum), not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
- Device Description: The device is a saline solution used in conjunction with a nebulizer. It's a substance administered to the patient to facilitate sample collection.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze a biological sample, detect a substance within a sample, or provide diagnostic information.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device is used in vivo (within the body) to help obtain a sample.
